I guess I’m a glutton for punishment because I’m still on the Pro-McCain Forums. Today, there was a panic attack, because the news shows Obama speaking at a gathering in Ohio. Behind him was the United States flag, flanked on each side by this flag:

I just crossed Patrick O’Brian’s Treason’s Harbour off of the Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com Reading List.

So far I’ve read nine of the Aubrey-Maturin Series, and I’m safe to say this is easily one of my top four favorites of O’Brian’s work.

It wasn’t the 76ers.
It was the Philadelphia Phillies who brought a World Championship (back) to Philadelphia.
